About this business

Reservations are not accepted at this extremely popular place, and it is one reason you will see lines snaking around the block to get in here. The other reason is the food. Though some might decry the less than immaculate interior, there are plenty who proclaim House of Nanking as the best Chinese food in San Francisco, if not California. The Imperial Rolls are extraordinary, full of first-rate fresh vegetables and succulent BBQ pork in a crispy, non-greasy wrapper.

The best Chinese food I have ever had. Fast paced, all business here. The line out the door makes it obvious this is the place to come. The place was packed and they seated out party of 7 in 10 minutes. 

Business response:

The best Chinese food you’ve ever had -- thanks for that amazing compliment, Eric! Delicious food at a fast pace is what we love to hear. Hope we’ll get to see you again soon. - Kathy, Manager

We couldn't even decide which dish was best because they were all wonderful! The chef also told us he would take care of us and did not let us order for ourselves...which added to the great experience! 

Business response:

What a great review, Katie -- thank you! It was our pleasure to see you here and make you and group a meal to remember. Hope to see you back again soon. -Kathy, Manager

Super fast paced and extremely intimate. AKA you might be rubbing elbows with your neighbor. Family style might be the better option but make sure you get the sesame chicken! I could do without the fried calamari though, (not really battered and too much vinegar... Then again this is Chinese and not Italian).

Place is kinda cramped but the food makes it worth it. They have the best egg rolls ever. No exaggeration. 

Business response:

The best egg rolls ever?! I'm flattered, Darlyn! I'm glad you love our food and can't wait to have you back for more of those tasty egg rolls that you love so much! -Kathy, Manager

Fast and delicious! This place was an awesome find! A better deal and better food than the typical fancy-looking tourist trap spots. You can really taste the attention to detail in their food.

The food was affordable and masterfully flavorful the service is a little rushed,but its understandable considering how busy they are. We didn't have to wait to be seated and food came out quickly though my drink wasn't refilled once I drank it. This is not a quiet restaurant and it's very hectic and lively but that only complements the food. 

Business response:

Thank you so much for all your kind words, Mr. Suarez! It was a pleasure to have you dine with us, and we sure hope you'll be back sometime soon!
